Mark Dickinson bbacb838c9 Issue #7355: Various improvements to struct module documentation.
- note early on that the result of struct.pack includes padding
   bytes by default

 - add examples showing how order of struct fields can affect size
   (due to padding)

 - better headers and references; introduction to format strings

 - integrate packing notes into table

Many thanks to Meador Inge for the patch.

Mark Dickinson 154b7ad07e Issue #1530559: When packing a non-integer with any integer conversion
code using struct.pack, attempt to convert to an integer first using
the argument's __int__ method (if present).  Also raise a
DeprecationWarning for any such usage of __int__.

This fixes a regression from 2.6, where some (but not all) integer
conversion codes already used __int__.
